Emotion Coaching

Sturgeon Public School Division, in conjunction with the St. Albert Family Resource Centre, invite you to join us for Emotion Coaching.

Emotions...we all have them. Everything we do and everything we learn is shaped in some way by the way we feel. Feelings are a natural part of who we are. But how do children learn about emotions?

How do they learn to understand their sadness or joy? What is appropriate behavior when these feelings are strong? What can a parent do when a child explodes in anger or hides in fear? Parents spend a lot of time teaching children important things such as tying shoes or reading. Taking time to help children learn to understand their feelings is important too. Emotion Coaching is a parenting technique that helps children understand their feelings. Please join us in exploring the five steps of emotion coaching to support your child in learning how emotions work and how to react to feelings in healthy ways.

Snacks and childcare will be provided. Pre-registration for childcare is necessary.
